Dear Sir,
I received your letter relative to Robert Glasswick's previous certificate in a few days after it was written; and delayed replying to it, until I could see my brother Mr John Nelson, who says it is a mistake that the papers were given to him last fall. He says he delivered my letter and inclosures to you, that you read them saying they were right and should be attended to, but that he heard no more about them. If the papers have fallen into improper hands

I presume it might be extracted by enclosing a letter to the agent in Richmond. — I shall have home for some time, after timber or fur- ther any, and should say lighted shoe on the subject, particularly if the certificate should be found, be so good as to direct to Col. Evan- mer Kenyon, Clarksville P.O. Va I regret this delay on the old man's account, as he has not drawn any part of his pension for more than 18 months. Very Resp.ly Yr H. Sot Thos Nelson

I can obtain no testimony at Raleigh respecting the services of David Miller. If the claim of Mrs Miller can not be allowed on the evidence sent on it must be abandoned. She is very poor & needs it very much
I have not got your reply to the claim of Elizabeth Roberts I was sent on about the same time as Miller & Mrs Hill's was,
As there is no way that Robert Glarock's claim could be paid at the agency in this State, I sent the claim for her pension to Rev Master of Rockwood in March and it was returned to me for some small alterations, I then understood by Mr Master that only the last six months could be received at the agency in Rockwood, and on account of that information I sent the claim for the six months previous to You. on the 1 st June I sent the claim for the 12 months to Mr Master at Rockwood and have got no reply from him

NOTES.—The last four blanks are left for the applicant to set forth the time, place, and manner of the loss or destruction of the original certificate.
The oath to be taken before a duly qualified magistrate, whose official character and signature must be properly authenticated.
If the pensioner has never received a formal certificate, but has drawn his pension on a mere notification, as was the case in a few instances many years ago, he should leave out the above words in italics, and insert, in lieu thereof, "but has never received a formal certificate, and now wishes to obtain one."
The pensioner's oath must be supported by the evidence of another person as to identity. The person must swear that he well knows him to be the same person described in the above affidavit. The magistrate must certify that the deponent is a person of veracity. This oath must also be authenticated by the certificate of the proper officer, under his seal of office, setting forth that the officer before whom the affidavit may be made is a Justice of the Peace, Judge, or Notary Public, as the case may be.
When a person acting as an Agent or Attorney for a Pensioner, loses the certificate, the affidavit of that person is also required, which must be authenticated as above.
In every case where the Clerk of the Court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of office, the certificate of a member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should be sent with the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.—In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or small ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
No attention will be given to applications from persons who act as agents, unless they are known at the War Department or are vouched for as respectable persons by some one who is known to the Department.

In February last I filed the application of Geo W Glasscock, Minor Child of Robert Glasscock of N.C. (No 298 229) for Pensions, said under the act of 3 March 1855; together with the relinquishment of his mother to the same she then being the wife of Thomas Howell. The claim was not allowed the proof in some points being insufficient.
Since then, Geo W Glasscock the minor and Thomas Howell his mother have both died and Nancy Howell who is now a widow presents her claim to the Pensions, same as the widow of Robert Glasscock under the act of March 1855. She
Robert Glasscock, Claimant's husband, was a pensioner on the old Pensions under the act of 18 March 1818. He removed from Mecklenburg Co. to Lincoln County N.C. and died there in 1839. She states that the arrears of Pension due him at his death were paid to her

evidence of which will no doubt be found in the Third Auditor's Office, to which I re- spectfully ask reference may be made as proof of my identity, if any be required, and of the existence of the relation of husband and wife between.
After the death of Glascow his widow married Thomas Howle, with whom she lived until last April when he died, and she is now a widow.
She claiming a pension also under the act of 3 rd July 1833 but her declaration under that law has not yet been completed.
Accompanying the paper will be found evidence of the death of Geo. W. Kennebec, the Minister of Port Royal, Glascow.

Dear Sir,
During the last fall, I forwarded to you, my own affidavit and that of Robert Glascock a Revolutionary pensioner, whose certificate was lost through my carelessness and I think by my throwing it into the fire by mistake, as I never have been able to find it since, and I found the certificate of Thomas Hood which I thought I had burnt after his death. I have lately turned from the south, and find the old man much distressed by the prospect of having his little property sold for debt contracted upon the faith of his pension: which he has not drawn for the want of his papers for more than 18 months if I recollect right. Please look into the matter and either enclose the necessary papers to me or to Capt. S. P. Poole at White House P.O. V a as soon as convenient. Capt. Poole is immediately in his neighborhood and would attend to the old man's business, I am now 20 miles from him. Resp ly Yr Ob. Servt. J. H. Nelson
